Shadowfamily- this has come as a complete and utter shock & I am deeply saddened. To make this show for you has been an uncommon privilege. We built this film family together and we couldn’t be more proud of all the talent in front of & behind the camera who brought SH to life.

What I do know is that the best work we’ve done has yet to be revealed. 3B fires on all cylinders #feels #action #supersizedheart. It’s terribly sad but we’re grateful that #FreeForm has given us the 2 hour event to say goodbye properly. #Shadowhunters

Being a part of this fandom is simply amazing. Your passion, commitment, interest, heart, creativity is phenomenal. Never seen a show with such committed fans around the globe. It’s not just a show, it’s a movement. Can not wait for you to see 3B! Just sent my cut of 320.

We still have 12 episodes left to finish what we started on @freeform & @netflix. You all have been so supportive and it’s been inspiring to read your tweets, comments and letters pouring your hearts out on how much the show means to you. I am honored to be part that.

It has been an absolutely wonderful experience getting to be part of Shadowhunters for the past three years. After all of it, I hope I have fulfilled my promise of being the best Alec Lightwood you could ask for. Look out for the great work this crew will be doing out of

Sad to hear!!! Great show!! Great family!! Though I’m not on it anymore, it was a great journey and worthy of years and stories to come.
Really upsetting.#Shadowhunters @ShadowhuntersWR https://t.co/v63RLub5nR— Alan Van Sprang (@alanvansprang) June 5, 2018
What do you think? Are you a fan of Shadowhunters? Do you think the show deserves a fourth season?
I absolutely loved this show! I’m a huge Cassandra Claire fan and this cast has nailed it. I can’t believe there isn’t a network out there willing to pick this show up for a bright future. I am cheering for you guys. Thanks for all the hard work.
Yes they should have a fourth seasons would love to know what happens next!!!!
I am so sad to see this show being cancelled. There is still so much story left to be told. I’m glad that at least it is getting a proper ending and that we will get 12 more episodes in the Spring. I really hope that Freeform will hear the fans voices and reconsider and give this show another season. The cast is phenomenal and the show always had me sitting on the edge of my seat wanting more every week. If Freeform doesn’t reconsider, I really hope another network or Netflix will pick it up. #saveshadowhunters. Thank you to… Read more »
Someone needs to pick up this show !! It’s an amazing story and show that I look forward to watch weekly!
First TVD and originals and now Shadowhunters. It doesn’t matter which network I change to… my favorite shows get cancelled … hoping that another network or netflicks has a change of heart… and will make a season 4…
But for now I look forward to season 3B to start…
Am so gutted we aren’t goin to get anymore seasons especially with the way it ended u can’t just leave it there with clary missing and that’s the end of it. Gutted gutted gutted kind a regretting ever starting to watch it now if that’s how it’s being left shocking when you start to watch a new series you want to see it through to a decent ending or what’s the point?
They are going to make 12 more episodes with a two hour finale to give it a proper ending. But they won’t air until Spring 2019. I hate to see it end and hope Netflix or another network will pick it up for another season
I don’t recall ever being as sad to hear of a show’s cancellation – Shadowhunters still had so much story to tell. A big thank you to all who helped bring it to our screens.
Yes Shadowhunters deserves a fourth season especially when the reasons are not artistic or creativ but because of fundings.
